Real-time data

Get important patient benefit data prior to e-Prescribing. View patient out-of-pocket costs, coverage alerts and therapeutic options – and avoid having to change a prescription later.

Direct messaging

With immediate access to patient-specific information within your electronic health record, you can make better decisions for your patients, right in the exam room.

Integrated capability

Integrate the information you need into your electronic health record, making it easier than ever for you and your staff to submit electronic prior authorizations (ePAs).

Connect to all PBMs and payers with ePA from Surescripts.® It’s easy to submit ePA requests and you can save valuable time if you haven’t fully integrated ePA into your electronic health record workflow.

CoverMyMeds® is a one-stop solution that works for all medications and all payers.

The ExpressPAth® portal lets you manage prescription drug ePAs for patients with Express Scripts pharmacy benefits, or if your patient’s health plan is part of Care Continuum. Not available for TRICARE® beneficiaries.

Other PA options

If you’re unable to use ePA, there are other ways to submit your PA request.

National Preferred Formulary (NPF)

Our highly-effective, clinically-based NPF is an example of how we make the market work for payers and patients by leveraging competition and directing members to medications with the lowest net cost. The NPF provides access to nearly 4,000 medications, including 600 brand-name drugs and 99% of all generics.

Medicare Part D Formularies

Express Scripts Medicare Part D formularies are reviewed by a Pharmacy & Therapeutics Committee comprised of independent, actively practicing physicians and pharmacists approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Be sure to refer to the formulary that applies to your patient’s plan option.

TRICARE Home Delivery Pharmacy Program

We’re honored to enable military members and their families to get their medications delivered directly to their home or anywhere they choose. Home Delivery is more cost effective compared to filling prescriptions through retail pharmacies. Also, during the e-prescribing process, patient-specific TRICARE pharmacy data is now available to providers who have Real-Time Prescription Benefit functionality embedded in their electronic health record.
